Thanks a lot for your help!

Actually it displays a link “view your profile” as you can see here : http://www.spleenarcana.com/forums/topic/what-are-you-listening-to-right-now

But I explained it in a bad way because I’d like a link to my WordPress profile pages, for example :

http://www.spleenarcana.com/members/admin/ (where “admin” is the nicename and I changed “author” for members)

Do you think it’s possible?

[vladimir.malyk]

Could it be due to some .htaccess stuff? I mean cookie trouble.

[vladimir.malyk]

> try adding define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.mnenie.dp.ua’ ); to bb-config

Done. Same result.

[gerikg]

The way I did it was to duplicate kakamei theme (not the blue) and put it in the my-template.

Then started with the BB header, I copied what was in the WP header. I took everything out after the body tag except for the “main” div. The BB footer I did the same. I just made sure there were enough div closing tags. Then copied over the codes that apply for the header and footer from the WP css. Most WP theme has two column one main and one sidebar. I treated BB like it was wordpress, one side the main section and the other sidebar. I treated the MAIN div as the main section and View/Hottags as the sidebar. I know this is not the best explanation but I hope you get the idea. It just takes a lot of css work.

[gerikg]

try adding define( 'COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.mnenie.dp.ua' ); to bb-config

[vladimir.malyk]

Cookie integration trouble.

1. When I’m trying integrate http://127.0.0.1/wordpress and http://127.0.0.1/forum – everything works fine.

2. But when I’m trying integrate http://www.mnenie.dp.ua and http://forum.mnenie.dp.ua – everything is bad. Login to www – causes logout forum, and login forum causes logout www.

The only difference between configurations is define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.mnenie.dp.ua’ ); in wp-config.php.

Any ideas?

I guess the most simple (and painless) way to do this will be to redirect/rewrite the profile URL from bbPress to point to the profile URL in WordPress.

You can reference the profile by the ID – in bbPress it goes like http://example.com/bbpress/profile.php?id=1 and it is equivalent to http://example.com/wordpress/?author=1

You just need some .htaccess magic

Hello,

I would like to display a link to the profiles of my WordPress website on the post.php file, just below the username and avatar.

I tried a code that I found in the profile.php file : <?php echo get_user_display_name( $user->ID ); ?>

But I can’t even make it work. Is it possible to get the Worpress user nicename to create this link? I did a complete WP/BBpress integration…

Thanks a lot for your help

[carlosdelab]

Thanks, John

I will try again this night installing out of wordpress.

on the plugin, BuddyBar in bbPress

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddybar-in-bbpress/

I just updated to buddypress 1.1 so that it can work, would you like to get admin info!

[chrishajer]

Where did you get instructions to do it like that? I seem to recall someone posting with that status 200 “all rosy” in the past but I don’t know where those instructions are coming from.

How about this WordPress plugin, if you’re integrated?

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddybar-in-bbpress/

[johnhiler]

It looks like you’re trying to install bbPress as a plugin within WordPress?

It’s actually a separate program… you have to install it separately from WordPress. You can integrate the two, so that they have shared users.

I have been combing the forums and have found a variety of answers to this, but many are old and am wondering what the most current directions are for using WordPress headers and footers to unify the look and navigation with the BBPress section with the of my site. I have simple directory structure, i.e. wordpress in the root, bbpress as a subdirectory, and have completed cookie and user integration. Any advice or links to current threads would be great. Thanks.

[kaz1844]

here’s what I did to get a page in wordpress in my navigation bar that redirects to the bbpress part of my site: set up a page template and made sure it was selected when I set up the forum page in wordpress – the template simply included redirection code:

<?php

/*

Template Name: Forum Section

*/

?>

<?php

header( ‘Location: http://www.yourdomain.com/your-forum-name-directory&#8217; ) ;

?>

[joseffb]

Not working.

The bbpress plugin didn’t give me a domain name so I added it in, but I had to leave it off of the wp-config because if I add it in then the primary domain (with a different domain name) can’t login correctly.

Primary = theitsites.com (blog ID 1)

Secondary = channeltechcenter.com (blog ID 15)

Forum = channeltechcenter.com/forum

This is how my config files look now:

bb-config.php:

define( ‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.channeltechcenter.com’ );

Yah it’s not a WordPress plugin… it’s separate software which has plugins of its own.

There are WordPress plugins like this one that offer very basic forum functionality:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpforum/

You might want to try something like that, if you’re not comfortable installing standalone forum software…

Good luck!

[dustin999]

Hey guys! Just wanted to get some feedback on my newly redesigned deals and coupons site, bargainjack.com. I’m using wordpress, coupled with a lot of customization/plugins, as well as BBPress for all of my forums. I’ve even integrated feedback on each product/deal landing page which goes directly to bbpress.

Please let me know what you think, or if you have any suggestions!

Thanks,

Dustin

[johnhiler]

Are you installing bbPress as a plugin in a WordPress site? That would trigger an error like the one you reported…

[nada122]

I have bbpress integrated with my wordpress… and I’m trying to have a register link and log in with username and password box at the top of my homepage like this: http://www.thefrozencake.com/wp-content/themes/urbanelements/images/Picture%201.png next to my logo above my navigation here: http://www.thefrozencake.com/wp-content/themes/urbanelements/images/Picture%202.png

I also want it to say Logged In | (view profile page) when a user is logged in. And I want the register link to take the user to a register page that I create (with more than just username/password.) I only want people to log in when they want to post to the forum, but they can leave comments on posts and read all they want.

How do I go about coding that and where? As you can tell, I’m definitely new to the php thing and learning as I go along. Any help would be great!

[adrianomelobbpress]

I have modified the original script to work with a bbpress integrated with wordpress. but the password is not working!

http://svn.adrianomelo.com/labs/Wenetus/phpbb3tobbpress.php

– uses the table wp_users instead bb_users

– the users in the wp_users are not lost!

– conficts resolved (user exists on wp database and phpbb database)

PROBLEM: the phpbb password is not working when imported to wp database

WordPress + bbPress is not always easy, but sometimes, unavoidable…

[Navin]

I think webmasters that run a forum, and wanna have “normal” pages for information, should look for a different way, for creating single pages with a reply form, integrating with WordPress is not a good thing IMO.

The reason why I’m saying this is, is that WordPress is under a constant development, but bbPress not, atleast that’s what I read. If WordPress gets updated and bbPress doesn’t and if that breaks the integration, you’ll be stuck on that for a while for support.

[gerikg]

Josef, take out in wp-config

/**bbpress integration **/

define('USER_COOKIE', 'wordpressuser');

define('PASS_COOKIE', 'wordpresspass');

define('COOKIEPATH', $base);

define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '/');

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.thisissite2.com'); // same as bbPress

and bb-config

$bb->wp_home = 'http://thisissite2.com/';

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://thisissite2.com/';



// Integrating with mu

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

$bb->cookiedomain = '.thisissite2.com'; // leading . allows subdomain sharing

$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser'; // WPMU doesn't hash cookies

$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass'; // WPMU doesn't hash cookies

Use this plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/

If you’re using MU you will get 4 lines, cookiehash, cookie_domain, sitecookiepath, and cookiepath.

get the information from there and put it right AFTER this line in wp-config

* @package WordPress

*/

then paste only cookie_domain, sitecookiepath, and cookiepath in bb-config file. leave out cookiehash right after

* @package bbPress

*/

Then get new keys, use this link https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt it has 8 keys put it in both like you did before. Don’t forget the BB_ prefix in bb-config.

Clear your cache and cookies. Give it a try. if that doesn’t work then look in your BB dashboard and check your settings on wordpress integration. make sure if you left out “www” in wordpressd to leave it out on bbpress.

@amylmc

Just add them if they are not there

[gerikg]

The integration wasn’t hard. I found only one theme that I wasn’t able to make look like wordpress because it was a complex WP theme to begin with, one with many WP header options. BBpress stand alone is great but if you have a site already and you looking for a forum for just help, like this one. Right now if you click on EXTEND, you will have to login again. It can get annoying especially when you don’t understand that this is more than one “software” working at one site. If your site is a forum site great. If your site is not a forum site, like THIS ONE. The forum is just for help. Plus, with WP you can create multiple pages, gallery, forms, etc etc.
